It started at the top. The best athletes and trainers on the planet adopted it, organically. Mahomes, Lillard, Rahm, Arozarena, DeChambeau.
Lessons, cage time, camps: the model runs on skill work, and it runs season to season. The players tell a different story.
of the youth and high-school players we've assessed have skill ahead of their physical foundation. More lessons won't move their number.Proteus baseball assessments
Whether his velocity matches the velocity his body can support. Whether he's skill- or power-dominant. Which region to train, with a watt target and the velocity it's worth.
What's limiting velocity, and the program to fix it.
The physical foundation behind exit velocity. The report recruiters want.
Ninth Inning Baseball, 2026. Fifty-one high-school pitchers, tested on Proteus and TrackMan before and after.
Three movements on Proteus, throwing velocity on TrackMan.
It pointed to power deficits, not skill gaps.
Built from each assessment, on the facility's own equipment. Throwing was maintenance only.
+4.75 mph average, up to +12, on their TrackMan after 60 days.
Independent: University of the Pacific matched Proteus scores to same-day TrackMan results and published the findings. The predictive movements were the shot put, the diagonal throwing pattern and the trunk rotation; the 1D strength lifts showed no relationship.
The kids you built all winter leave for travel ball.
The program travels with the player, on whatever equipment is around, with the retest on your calendar for when he's back. Players at one facility run their programs on their own at night.

"He needs to get stronger" is an opinion.
The report makes the case in one page, tied to velocity. Sites that added the baseball reports saw assessments rise 12%, one site 54%.
Sold alongside lessons, run in your cages or at home.

No. The kiosk runs the test, the report explains itself, and the program is written for the athlete. Facilities with a strength coach use it to set priorities; facilities without one use it to sell programs they couldn't offer before.
No. Those measure the ball. Proteus measures the athlete. The Ninth Inning result was verified on the facility's own TrackMan.
About 80 square feet. Two to ten minutes per athlete depending on the protocol; the full baseball test is about eight.
A one-time hardware purchase plus annual software. Program credits are resold by your facility at $99 to $350. Joe will run the numbers for your volume on the call.
